This is mainly a bug fix release to 3.51.01 version. Recommended for all users to upgrade to this version on all platforms who are using MyODBC 3.51.

Here is the list of fixes/improvements:

-- Fix to SQLDriverConnect to return correct output string. This is the main fix for 'Reserved error (-7778)' from all Windows ODBC applications.

-- Fix to hang from unixODBC when there is a exception. Modified SQLError to clear the error buffers on the first call when the ODBC version is SQL_OV_ODBC3, so that the subsequent calls will return SQL_NO_DATA.

-- Fix to export of tables from ACCESS 97 or MS DTS(Data Transformation Services) when one of the field types are TEXT or VARCHAR.

-- Fix to SQLSetPos and SQLBulkOperations, when the application passes SQL_NTS as pcbValue.

-- Fix to SQLColumns to return the correct Nullability.

-- Added the support of SQLTablePrivileges and SQLColumnPrivileges.

-- Fix to SQL_ATTR_CONNECTION_DEAD. This should fix the issues from SQLExpress for XBase++ and .NET connection closed issues.

-- Fix to SQLGetTypeInfo to return correct values for SQL_DATE/SQL_TYPE_DATE, SQL_TIME/SQL_TYPE_TIME and SQL_TIMESTAMP/SQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP.

-- Fix to SQL_UPDATE and SQL_ADD from SQLSetPos. Also changed to have different way of using the NULL values from WHERE clause.

-- Fix to tab ordering ordering from DSN configuration dialog.

-- Added default values for the new DSN creation.

Also,

-- Added few more questions to MyODBC FAQ along with ODBC.NET reference samples.

-- Access 97 and MS DTS users, who are facing problems with import and export, should upgrade to this version.
